It is just about a laptop. Maybe. Conversation runs well. And time is set. It was agreed at 5.30 pm. No offence. She was ready. And went down at 5.40pm. how she felt guilty. Coz it already past the actual time. Running down the stairs. She ignores everything. The cd’s. The scattered room. The people around. Walking quickly to the place. Excited? She guesses. Coz it was the last day. And the last meeting. And laptop is only a reason she bet. Not more than ten minutes, she arrived. And nobody's there. Waiting. Yes. Maybe he is late. Waiting. And waiting..she push the calling button. And it was answered. And the response is shocking her. Sad? No. Angry? No. Frust? She dont think so. Dissapoint? Maybe a little. There’s no spesific measurement for feeling. The excitement turns to dissapointment. What makes her becomes that way. She’ve no answer indeed. It just the matter of tetiba-rasa-macam-tu. Maybe the last day makes her becomes quite sensitive.
“I’m sorry. . i was not intend to do that” he said.
“yes. I know. it's ok. No biggie” she replied.
Just a petty matter. But it still paints a small mark. In her heart. For no reason. Because she was truly excited just now. The new time is set. Both agreed. But the girl said she maybe quite late. Coz she’s got things to be settled. And the boy said he will wait. 5 minutes past six, the girl arrived at the same place. Still nobody. Keep waiting. And there he comes. With the laptop. And the girl feels unconscious. Because she don’t know how to react. And the laptop changed owner. With the girl just looked down. And just said three simple words…
“thanks ”
“sorry”
“assalamualaikum”
And by that, she just went away…wandered aimlessly back to her hostel. leaving the boy with 1001 questions flying in his head…she don’t know why she reacts that way. why only that three words that came out from her mouth. she is clueless. and that’s how her last day at the college ends…
and there's nobody who knows how actually she felt...
